king street pilot is permanent

Toronto, 2019.04.16

Every day I cross the center of Toronto's downtown via street only usable by transit, taxis and bikes - not a big idea globally but new to TO. This was put in place as a "pilot" to verify the idea, and the pilot seems to have worked because today city council voted to make the street's design permanent.

I'd like to thank all of the Councillors who voted for this, it directly makes a difference to my safety.

A creative person would prefer their music to be stolen and enjoyed than ignored. This is the dilemma for every creative soul: he or she would prefer to starve and be heard than to eat well and be ignored.

—Pete Townshend
